Skellig Six18 Dark Sky Reserve Irish Whiskey

Single Malt | 23 Years Old

A Journey of Legacy and Light

Distilled at the turn of the century, this rare whiskey is Atlantic Aged under the stars that have guided kings, travellers, and merchants for centuries along Ireland’s western coast—journeys that stretched from Skellig Coast to Europe, America, and Asia.

Our distillery sits at the edge of the awe-inspiring Skellig Michael, a timeless and sacred landmark where earth and sky meet. It’s here that the Dark Sky Reserve Collection finds its soul, shaped by centuries of resilience, progress, and unity.

Dark Sky Reserve Label

A Tribute in Every Detail

Presented in a solid handcrafted oak box, the Dark Sky Reserve is accompanied by Valentia slate coasters—cut from the local quarry first opened in 1816. This same quarry marked history in 1866 when the copper Transatlantic Cable connected the Skellig Coast to the world.

The copper metallic Skelligs emblem on our exclusive bottle is a salute to this timeless connection—where craftsmanship, character, and legacy converge.

More Than a Whiskey—A Celebration of Character

At Skellig Six18, we honour not just the destination, but the journey—the steps, struggles, and strength it took to get here. The Dark Sky Reserve Collection is a reward for those bold enough to forge their own path.

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat.

Ní neart go cur le chéile.
We are stronger together

Raise a glass to Character, Connection, and the Celestial.

Crafted with Patience, Character & Purpose

Matured for over two decades in handcrafted oak bourbon barrels, this whiskey has developed a deep, rich character—just like the people and stories that have shaped the Skellig coastline.

Nose:
Aromatic and rich. Expect dried fruits with a citrus edge, layered over delicate hints of malty honeycomb.

Palate:
Velvety and full-bodied. Complex layers of fruit and honey evolve into subtle salted caramelisation—a hallmark of extended aging.

Finish:
Long, smooth, and elegant. Fruity and nutty notes fade into a warm, clean malty honey glow.
